Always some song keeps coming to my mind. It is automatic. Whether I am in bathroom or cooking or sweeping the house, I mildly hum some song or other. Of course the type of song depends on my mood. I will either hum in a low tone...

RaiscaraAvalon Oh, I don't mind the jingles so much, since a lot of them are just songs anywho. And they do not make me buy things I don't need, even if that is the purpose. I just like anything with catchy lyrics or tune. :)

What is your favorite book store? I love Barnes and Noble. They have a good selection of books. I wonder if a person gets discounts if they work for a bookstore.

RaiscaraAvalon I was thinking about that too actually, although, I probably wouldn't have much of a paycheck. But I could drool over all the new releases...*sigh*. I already sort of have my "dream" job, but that would increase my happiness!

RaiscaraAvalon That's another thing, try to avoid reading about it, or talking about it! I had to smoke while reading stop smoking literature, so I got it all taken care of before I quit. :) Good luck, you CAN do it!

RaiscaraAvalon Most of the vegetables you get in a grocery store is loaded with chemicals, to "enhance" flavor and increase size. Lots of nutrients are lost, sadly.

RaiscaraAvalon Why don't you try carrying a cold water bottle around with you when you leave the house? Then you'd know where you water was all the time. ;)

RaiscaraAvalon I'm jealous. :) Then again, I would never have a paycheck! Probably safer that I haven't worked in one.

I recently quit smoking and now all I can smell is stale nicotine. The owner of the house before me smoked like a chimney, so its horrible. I can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I do. Its driving me insane and making me...

RaiscaraAvalon Yeah, that is a bit drastic lol. But I do like the incense idea, maybe that alone will cut the smell. I just can't afford to majorly overhaul this place, and it wouldn't be worth it in the long run. Eventually I'll move though. :)

I have a ton of extra food kicking around that I really want to use up, but most of the recipes I find require me to buy a lot of other products. So I'm looking for easy ways to use up my surplus before things start going bad. I'd...

RaiscaraAvalon I have added cheeses to things like scrambled eggs, pasta sauce, sprinkled it on top of pasta. I also make my own macaroni and cheese. Anything in particular you would recommend? Thanks for your response!

RaiscaraAvalon I have a ton of frozen meat, especially chicken. Canned, fresh and frozen veggies, rice, pasta, cheese, fruit, the list goes on and on! Is there anything in particular you recommend? Or just toss whatever into a pan? Thanks for your response!

One of the ways I had been planning on cutting costs was by growing some of my own food. But then I got to thinking, does it really save you money? I have to do raised beds in order to grow anything here, plus the cost of seeds,...

RaiscaraAvalon Very true, gardening is a work-out! Especially if your garden is a distance from the house or rather large. Thanks for your response!

RaiscaraAvalon Thanks! Herbs are definitely on the list for growing, as I use a ton of them. I'd be growing them regardless of whether I do the rest of the garden or not. Thanks for your response! :)

RaiscaraAvalon Oh, I definitely agree with you on the pesticides and junk that they throw onto our "fresh" produce. I buy most of my produce from local farms to combat that. Thanks for your response! :)
